I never see them here on the farm, and yet we have a barn, and there are plenty of rodents in the fields. Today I have posted an Owl however. Nice capture of the hedgehog, another creature that I rarely see. When I went to the bird ringing demo, the handler removed ticks with a small pair of tweezers before the birds were released. Breathtakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883608347810648676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-55791555464136501582016-08-30T15:39:35.923+01:002016-08-30T15:39:35.923+01:00I love the Barn Owl ... sadly they are endangered ...I love the Barn Owl ... sadly they are endangered in our area and are rarely spotted in the wild. We have the Northern Harrier here and they are very similar to your Marsh Harrier ... beautiful. Here they share territory with the Short Eared Owl and if you go to that area at dusk you can watch the change off take place ... unfortunately the lighting isn't good enough for pictures, but the experience is etched in my memory. Lovely post, Phil ...<br /><br />Andrea @ From the SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-43208843993657929812016-08-30T13:05:41.953+01:002016-08-30T13:05:41.953+01:00Great pictures!

Like a trick test question, your 'circus time' title, certainly made me read every word of the post carefully -- including the Latin names which I'm usually too lazy to spend any time on. Interesting derivatation but it did make sense -- thanks for being a good teacher. I was going to say I'd remember this fact, but you probably wouldn't believe me since cute hedgehogs are only one of the many things that tend to drive things out of my mind.
